Kate Middleton's Dress, Being a Princess (Video)

Kate Middleton wears a wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director at Alexander McQueen.

It was lovely -- simple elegance!

Kate Middleton walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey with her father on Friday to begin her wedding to Prince William.

Archbishop Rowan Williams declares Prince William and Kate Middleton husband and wife.

Prince William and Kate Middleton kissed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to celebrate their wedding.

It looks like a fairy tale, but William and Kate aren't storybook characters.

How can anyone live up to such unrealistic expectations, and exist under constant and ruthless scrutiny?

What strain that would put on a marriage! That's no fairy tale. It's a nightmare.

I hope William and Kate manage to find happiness and fulfillment, sharing life's blessings, as well as its struggles, together. I hope they know the joy that comes with true and lasting love.

If that's the measure of a fairy tale wedding, it's not a fantasy reserved for the very few.

What's it like to be a princess?

It's beautiful.

THE WEDDING

And they lived happily ever after.

Obama: Long-Form Birth Certificate

Years from now, people will probably remember where they were when they heard the news.

Today, Obama released his long-form birth certificate.

Historic!

Watch video of Obama's goofy announcement of his birth:



Here's the transcript of Obama's remarks, from the White House.

Obama tries to make the case that he followed the birth certificate speculation with amusement, but now it was time to end it, to get serious, and let go of the "silliness."

Really?

It took years for Obama to decide it's time to get serious?

He's a little slow.

So why today?

Notice it's dated April 25, 2011, by Alvin T. Onaka, Ph.D., State Registrar.



(I didn't know his mom's name was Stanley.)

What prompted this move after years and years of questions?

Was the White House firing a shot across the bow to get Donald Trump to back off, to discredit him?

I don't think so. I think Obama is enjoying the Trump circus. Paul Ryan is Obama's worst nightmare. The reality of life in America under Obama is his enemy.

The birth certificate issue was always a plus for Obama.

So why would Obama want to let go of it?

My theory: Obama is jealous of Prince William and Kate Middleton and the "wedding of the century."

He needed to do something big. He's not invited to the wedding. He didn't make the cut. He's out of the spotlight. He's dwarfed by the frivolous Royals, a wedding.

Poor Obama.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
